Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Steps:
- Measure the width of your frame or beam to ensure it matches the 50mm internal width specification.
- Position the U-bolt over the frame and thread it through the mounting points of your axle or bracket.
- Slide the 6mm backing plate onto the threaded ends of the bolt.
- Apply the provided washers and tighten the nyloc nuts evenly to ensure consistent tension across the bracket.
Compatibility: These bolts feature an M10 thread. Verify that your existing brackets are drilled for 10mm hardware.
Care: Periodically inspect the hardware for signs of stress or movement. While the gold plating is corrosion-resistant, applying a light coat of anti-seize or silicone-based lubricant to the threads during installation can prevent galvanic corrosion and make future adjustments significantly easier.
